DREAM TEAM ALBUM completed & in mixing stage!!!!!!!


 


 

A lot has been said about the demise of West Coast hip-hop over the past few years, or at the very least the absence of a true standout amongst the crowd. In an era where music is not only accessible but also abundant on the web, it seems like the world has been waiting for a new contender; scratch that - a new champion, from the far left. Enter The Return of the Dream Team.
 
Comprised of Medusa (dubbed by many as the queen of the west coast and the Angela Davis of hip-hop), Ariano (emcee extraordinaire and co-founder of the Cali-based Technicali crew), and FLD (the talented duo of Flict and LD, who have brewed beats for a wide range of talents spanning from Lauren Hill to Paul Wall to Jurassic 5), The Return of the Dream Teamis exactly that – an escape from what you’d expect and a journey into what you’d imagine; that is, if you were picturing a beastly union of hymnal-like sunshine shatter, microphone synergy in the same vein of EPMD, and the combustible sexuality of Diana Ross. And let’s be clear – this is not some grandiose genre-busting mission statement; this is just music at its best – it’s undeniably timeless and totally progressive at the same time. And it’s just so damn West Coast it hurts.       
 
With that said, how do you categorize an album that blends multiple doses of hefty-soul singing, brash microphone deliverance, and pulsating speaker-stimulants? It’s not easy, but that's the pleasure of this compelling collaboration. And the treats – well, they’re real treats. The single, "Cali Quake", is a hit for all the right reasons – it’s a big, energetic anthem that’ll get all bodies movin’ and the dance floor jumpin’. The reggae-induced “Lies” turns the topic of a cynical romance into a festival-friendly affair, and the hard-hittin’ “Round Me Outside” will surely have circles getting their “Jabbawockeez” on.
 
There’s an inescapable, yet hard-to-pin energy throughout the record, and that’s where The Return of the Dream Team truly triumphs. This is the arrival of something special, and that, folks, is for sure – now take a deep breath and enjoy the ride.

Now I don't know if you've read LA Weekly, LA Times or the Sentinel but the Film " This Is The Life" by Ava DuVernay the hip hop doc on the history of the Good Life Artist and "How The West Was One" Is making a new star count in the universe of films....with features like Medusa, Mykah9, Abstract Rude, LaKhule, Pigeon John, Jurassic5 just to name a few...it has our Gangsta Goddess "traveling to the universe to ask what the stars wish" LOL I'm sorry I was just listening to "Soul Elevation" and that's one of my favorite lines in the Toquon cut featuring Medusa and Ariano which was played on Sway & Tech's Wake Up Show in a hot mix by DJ Flicks.


 
 "Upon watching this film, a time-honored hip hop statement rings loudly - 'If you don't know, now you know.'  This is a story that has been missing from our cultural consciousness. The LA Underground scene has been "slept on" and passed over when it comes to its important contribution to the hip hop art form.  Their styles and language, as well as the gymnastic vocal twists, symbolize the highest standards of rhyme.  This film keeps their highly relevant music fresh and in its purest form, letting the stories be told from the mouths and minds that lived it. THIS IS THE LIFE is exceptional, a documentary not to be forgotten."
- Chuck D, Public Enemy
 
   
 
 “Medusa started 2008 with
I’m gonna show them I’m not ah myth!!” 
 
So it began...Medusa starts the year by showing her support for the LA Unified School District by hosting the African American Heritage Month “Time To Write” event., a competition for our young future word smith’s. At the event she was commended by Mayor Antoinio Villaraigosa, who I’m told is a fan, with the City of Los Angeles, CA Certificate of Appreciation.
 
 
                                              ~2008~
 
It continued...from there Medusa was a part of the Hip Hop for Education event, which was off the meter with Psycho Realm, Mystic, DJ Mugs and Self Scientific just to name a few. Let’s not forget the 5,000 in attendance on a roof top in Downtown LA...WOW!!! There she was presented with “Divine Forces Radio” plack of recognition for years of minds through hip hop culture and her dedication to the upliftment of youth in the city of Los Angeles...U GO MA!!!
Medusa is also exploring every women inside her, by that I mean “the opera”! Yes, working with Emmy Award Winner and world renowned conductor Laura Karpman on an opera based on the Langston Hughes poem “Yo Mama”, staring Jessy Norman, one of the most phenomenal soprano’s of our time, wit rumored talk to involve Gill Scott plus Medusa in the cast it should be a cold piece of work. It already has it’s first date in March of 2009 at Carnegie Hall...Stop it! She also joined Ms. Karpman in writing the title cut for Sonny film “2nd Stage” also dropping in 2009.
 
Besides serving her regular Temple Bar and Fais Do Do blow up’s she’s been spotted killing Arizona with Technicali, Palm Springs with Evelyn Champagne King, Michigan Women’s Festival that was 4,000 women strong, San Diego with Urban Underground, Long Beach with Ice T and Too Short, UCLA Reggae Festival with the Elevators and smashing the Las Vegas Magic Show with style. The Magic Show in case you didn’t know is where folks showcase there new gear for the new year. As if that wasn’t enough she’s featured on the Reconstruction project put together by KRS1. There’s much more but my people I’m running out of room so I’ll get back to you at the end of the year but as you can see 2008 has been great and is setting Medusa up to enter 2009 quite lovely!!
